People who make a big deal about being a "hyphenated-American" have really started to bother me recently (yeah, I'm looking at you, Dearborn, Michigan). If someone is so damned concerned about something in their country of origin that they feel they have to screw up this country to make their point, I refer them to an old airline ad: "Delta is ready when you are."

Sooner or later, their loyalty is going to wind up on one side of that hyphen or the other.
